Actor Abhinav Kapoor is done with the shooting of the second season of producer Ekta Kapoors show "Dil Hi Toh Hai".

The second season will be later available on ALTBalaji.

"We wrapped up shooting for the show today (Saturday). I had an amazing time shooting for it for a year. I can't define the bond all of us share. They are more like soulmates," Abhinav, who plays the character of Aman Rastogi in the show, said in a statement.

"This show will always stay close to my heart. No show can ever surpass it as I have learnt so much in the process," he added.

Actor Karan Vohra, currently seen in the TV show "Krishna Chali London", says a daily soap is like a school where he can learn a lot about acting and more.

"Acting happened accidentally. I was into construction business in Delhi. I have no acting background, but I have lots of friends in the film industry," the brother-in-law of rapper Raftaar told IANS in a telephonic interview.

"I was a laid back guy in Delhi. One day a close friend of mine recommended my name to (producer) Saurabh Tewari," he added.

Then he went for an audition and was cast as the male lead of the show "Zindagi Ki Mehek".

"I told Saurabh that 'I can't be an actor. You have to help me out'. He did and I also worked hard. I consider daily soaps like a school. We do the same thing everyday and polish ourselves. It's not just acting. We also gain knowledge about camera, lighting and all. So, you become a professional," said Karan.

After the show wrapped up, he shifted base to Mumbai in the last quarter of 2018.

Soon, he bagged a role in StarPlus' show "Krishna Chali London". Earlier this month, its lead male actor Gaurav Sareen made an exit from the show. It came as a surprise to many, including his fans who started using #NoGauravNoKCL and #WeWantGauravSareen hashtags on Twitter.

He doesn't feel any pressure.

"I want to focus on my work and performance. Rest is on the writers and makers of the show. I am doing my job and giving my 100 per cent. I don't pay attention to the negative part," he said.

His character, Dr. Veer, was introduced as someone with different shades. He is a young, no-nonsense doctor who is the head of the Cardiology Department at London Medical College. He has adopted British culture leaving behind his Indian roots.

Talking about the development of his character, he said: "The new love interest (of Krishna) would be Dr. Veer. We will be taking the story forward. Basically, there will be new things in the show."

He enjoyed shooting in London.

"The locations are so beautiful. The natural light is so beautiful. Shots used to come out very well," said Karan.

Actress Neelu Kohli, known for her work in shows like "Geet - Hui Sabse Parayi" and "Jamai Raja", considers TV as her home as it helped her in achieving stardom.

"I took a small break from television after my show 'Naamkarann' went off air last year. I was busy with my Bollywood film 'Manmarziyaan'. I'm happy to return home. TV has been a home for me as it got me stardom," Neelu said in a statement.

She is back to the small screen with the upcoming show "Band Baaja Bandh Darwaza" as a ghost.

"Doing this show has a special reason, and that is (being a) ghost. I always wanted to do a comedy and horror-based show," she said.

Actress Dolly Sohi of "Kalash" fame says she is excited and nervous about playing a negative role in a TV show for the first time.

Although her character in "Meri Durga" had grey shades, but this would be the first time that she will come as an out-and-out baddie in the upcoming show "Khoob Ladi Mardaani Jhansi Ki Rani".

"I'm really excited and nervous at the same time about playing a negative role for the first time. Most of my characters have been very positive. People have loved me as Raano in 'Kalash' and 'Saroj' in 'Bhabhi'," Dolly said in a statement.

"My characters have cried a lot, but now my character will be a troublemaker in '...Jhansi Ki Rani'," she added.

Music mogul Simon Cowell confesses that he 'stole the idea' for "Britain's Got Talent" (BGT) from a rival music show.

Speaking on The Paul McKenna Positivity Podcast, the 59-year-old said he began to think up the idea for BGT when he said he would prefer to see a singing dog over someone taking part in another music show, reports dailymail.co.uk.

It comes as the ITV prime time mainstay is set to kick off auditions for its 13th series on Friday, which will also see host Ant McPartlin's first day back at work following his drink-driving arrest in March.

Cowell explained: "It was just an idea I had in the kitchen one day, I was watching another competing music show and a girl was murdering Get Here by Olita Adams.

"I thought do you know what I would actually rather watch a show about a singing dog.

"And that's how Got Talent came along. And we developed it over a year and then we sold it. And this show will run for 20 years."

Cowell went on to admit he doesn't like seeing his show business rivals performing well with TV formats of their own, and likes to take inspiration from them and channel it into his own shows.

"We see a competing show and think: we will take a bit of that show and put it into ours," he said.

"But I am still incredibly competitive. When I see a competing show starting to do well I actually feel physically sick.

"I don't like my friends to do well. I really don't. Jealousy in a weird way is good for you. If you are not jealous of your competitors you are not going to win."

Actress Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya is excited to host singing-based show "The Voice", which has music maestro A.R. Rahman as a super guru. This will be her first reality show as a solo anchor.

"It's not my anchoring debut. I had done anchoring for award shows earlier. But being a solo anchor for a reality show, dealing with 'real people' away from glamour, dedicated towards their art is my first," Divyanka said in a statement.

The actress is already multi-tasking between her daily show "Ye Hai Mohabbatein" and a web series. Now, she has "The Voice" in her kitty as well.

"Its a lot of time management, but I am not complaining. I am loving the fact that I am part of three different genres and am getting the ability to experiment as an actor," Divyanka said.

"Yes, it's draining and I know that it's easier said than done, but I'm sure it's possible with planning as well as cooperation from my production houses and channel," she added.

Actor Parth Samthaan considers his mother "a superwoman" and says she will always be the number one woman in his life.

"I share a very close bond with my mother and I am a typical mumma's boy. I am extremely attached to my mother and she is a superwoman for me. She will always be the number one woman in my life," Parth said in a statement.

"I always strive to make my mother proud of me and bring a smile on her face. She is my best friend," he added.

Actor Maniesh Paul is in awe of the heroism of Indian soldiers, and calls them "real heroes".

"The training and heroism showed by the Jawans at BSF Camp, Jammu is commendable. I was surprised to witness so many talented men under one roof and I strongly believe that these are our real heroes who protect our borders day in and day out without a doubt," Maniesh said in a statement to IANS.

Maniesh was in Jammu last week at the BSF base camp to entertain the soldiers as part of Comedy Central's campaign "Spread the Cheer".

"I am glad to be associated with Comedy Central to ‘Spread The Cheer' among these brave men of our country," he said.

Maniesh was given a special tour of the camp, starting with a visit to the Martyrs' Memorial paying tribute to the BSF Jawans who lost their lives in the line of duty, followed by a glimpse of the intensive training of the BSF Commandos and finally playing kabaddi with the jawans.
